About us

http://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/community/cary-news/article101762867.html My number one goal is customer satisfaction (Super service award winner 2012, 2013, 2014,2015,2016,2017 on Angie's list) which to me is defined as a client who is not only completely satisfied with my services but is willing to refer me to their friends, family and co-workers. I currently have serviced 850th clients! My work is my passion and I absolutely love providing my services to my clients. I get a real sense of pleasure when a client loves the work I have done, smiles and says thank you for a wonderful job. I perform most of the tasks myself, but also know when to say a job is out of my area of expertise. If/when that happens, I do know qualified contractors who can step in and perform the work at a very reasonable rate. I followup with my customer after the job is completed to ensure it was performed to their satisfaction, which is especially important since my reputation is on the line and as I mentioned prior, customer satisfaction is my number 1 goal. I can provide references upon request which I would challenge any other tradesman to do the same. I am confident you will be pleased with my workmanship and prices. Free estimates are available 7 days a week.

Description of Work: I recently purchased a home and needed some repairs made that were identified by the inspection. I did not know a handyman, so I went with one that my realtor identified. I was not 100% pleased with the work of that handyman, and was charged the equivalent of $250 an hour. That particular handyman recommended that we re-work some tiling in our master shower based on the way our soap dish was installed, which would involve finding and cutting matching tile, probably costing a few hundred dollars. As I did not know any other handymen, I was hesitant to follow his recommendation without a second opinion. | |Enter "A Master of All Trades"! I searched on Angie's List and really liked the reviews I read. I called and explained the issue to Tom, and Tom scheduled an appointment for a free estimate a couple of weeks out. Tom exceeded expectations by calling a few days later saying he could come earlier for the estimate, if our schedule allowed. Based on Tom's assessment, his fix was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper and easier. He was able to complete it the same day as the estimate. Tom was very pleasant and professional to deal with, and is super passionate about what he does. I will certainly keep Tom in mind for future projects, and I have already passed his information along to my realtor. |

Response from A Master of All Trades
Appreciate the kind words and glad to help out. It makes me angry to see people get ripped off by dishonest trades people. To make matters worse they use scare tactics to try and get future work! That is the reason I did not charge you for my quick fix (clear caulking in suspect area of shower). Honesty goes a long way. Tom

Description of Work: He built a custom storage bench for us. | |end result was really good, but in process of installation, some nails went through and scratched my wood floor, and also everything in my garage (where the bench was built), was covered with sawdust. I thought this was not professional way of doing things. | |But the bench is very useful to us, and just right. We did get the length slightly more than we should have got it, so now we cannot plugin anything on the 2 plug points we do have access to. | |

Response from A Master of All Trades
I beg to differ since: 1) I always clean up the mess I make and most often the clients house is cleaner after I leave then when I got there 2) The floor was already scratched (kitchen table legs did not have felt on them) as I pointed out to the client and I was told not to worry about it. If it was such an issue I could have gotten my flooring guy over to remedy the problem at a very reasonable cost. 3) The electrical outlets I pointed out that based on their design would be inside of the seat bench which they did not have an issue with. At the time if they did I would have made the bench smaller. I am very perplexed on why this review took so long (over a year) and why I would be notified via Angie's List with these so called issues rather then picking up the phone and talking to me as a human being? If the roles were reversed is that how you would like to be treated? One last note: I have been on Angie's list 3 years and have won the Super Service Award all three 3years which is incredible and I truly thank my 212 happy customers!

It still amazes me that I would receive an overall B rating when scoring an A in 4 out of the 5 categories and then not to even explain how late I supposedly was. This job took place almost a year (and I am just being rated now? Speaking of punctuality) ago and I honestly do not know if I was a few minutes late, but if so, shame on me. Stuff happens during the day and if I am more than 15 minutes late I call the client to let them know.

Response from A Master of All Trades
[removed members name], I am very shocked and upset with your review since you are a repeat customer and have always been quite pleased with me cost and service. On the last visit, prior to me performing the work I provided you with a written estimate which clearing stated LABOR only. If you were unhappy with the estimate, then you should not have asked me to perform the work. There was a $10 material cost which you haggled over and I am not willing to lose $10 over a total labor charge of $60 and traveling 30 miles to/from your house to mine. In the future please find another handyman to haggle with! Tom

Would highly recommend!
Description of Work: Tom gave us a great price on creating a large opening in a wall between living room and kitchen. We decided after much thought that it might not be as pleasing to the eye to have it done as we thought -so decided to not do the project. But his price was great---on time for the estimate ---answered many email questions afterwards very quickly. He was extremely professional in all dealings!

Description of Work: I had a small task that I could not do myself. It is usually difficult to find someone willing to do handyman small jobs taking less than an hour to accomplish. Tom responded fast and came within a couple days after we talked. He worked this small job in at the end of his work day and I felt that the charge was very reasonable. I will definitely call again should the need arise.

Description of Work: Replace fascia boards and painted the boards he replaced. Then he repaired another area of wood rot that I wanted fixed but never asked if he would be able to do it. He did it at a very reasonable price and offered great advice for the future. He was great. Very friendly, easy to get along with and great work all together. I would highly recommend him to everyone.
